You can learn everything you need to know not to make a terrible investment from talking with people, doing research, and asking specific question on BP.

Hi everyone~ My trial period of 3 months with the last PM ended terribly. 

But touting the fee and inspection “for guest safety” but not inspecting and only collecting the fee is terribly dishonest and a sham, as you already mentioned.

It is better to have an empty unit than a terrible tenant.

Primary mortgage rates aren't terrible currently, hovering around 6% and a quarter, depending on the borrower, so I wouldn't let this stop you from taking action.

That's terrible service and should not be permitted.

The tech is terrible, the customer service is terrible.

Just a terrible purchase process for the buyer who is assuming all the risk. 

So all things considered, the 5% and 6% returns don't sound terrible to me, especially given the costs of selling and where the market is in general (high prices and relatively high interest rates).The 1.5% on the other hand is pretty tough to swallow.

It will cost a Month’s rent for a “no fault eviction” (terrible name but terminology used by ab1482) if unit is over 15 years old.
